INTEGRATED SOCIAL SCIENCES
The increase in the life expectancy has resulted in the increase in the number of population with the age above 60
years old, i.e. senior citizen group. However, the government has not shown its concern to provide facilities for them so
that they may lead a better life.
The total number of senior citizens in Indonesia in 2011 was around 24 million people or nearly 10% of the total
population. In 1970 there were only 2 million senior citizens. Within 40 years, the number of senior citizens has
increased by 10 times, while the number of population has increased by 450,000 people in average. In 2050, it is predicted
there will be 60 million senior citizens, equal to the current joint population of West Java, DKI Jakarta and Banten.
The increase in the number of senior citizens has greater impacts, from political, economic, up to sociocultural
aspects. The senior citizens’political aspiration will be more decisive. There will be more products produced by
industries for senior citizens. Almost every family will have senior citizens. Based on population distribution, 80% of
senior citizens will live in rural areas. This is dangerous to food resistance program because agricultural sector is
dominated by senior citizens who are not productive anymore. Now, the average age of farmers is 45 years old. The
baby boom that happened between 1960 and 1970 will trigger the explosion of the number of senior citizens in the next
10 – 20 years. In the next 5 years, it is estimated that there will be 2 million civil servants who will reach retirement age.
From the age of 50 years old, senior citizens should start preparing themselves to enter retirement period. There
should be empowerment program because around 60% of senior citizens have the potential to be developed. There are
20% senior citizens who are still active and independent, so they do not need assistance. The remaining 20% are those
who are sick, poor, and unable to do anything.

Starting from 28 January 2012, the United States of America has formally rejected oil palm products and its
derivatives from Indonesia. The reason was, the Indonesian oil palm was considered as environmentally unfriendly
product. The notification was received by the Ministry of Trade and we were given time until 27 February to go against
the statement.
The government immediately looked for support from other countries that also consumed palm oil such as Finland.
The Ministry of Forestry had also carried out a study with the European Community related to palm oil contribution to
the emission of carbon.
The US rejection on oil palm product has undermined the competitiveness of Indonesian products. This rejection is
similar on ban imposed by the European Community. According to the US, bio fuel from oil palm does not fulfill
requirements on harmless emission. The safety level of the emission of Indonesia’s palm oil is only 18 percent, while the
minimum requirement is 25 percent. In Europe, the emission minimum safety is 35 percent, whereas the Indonesia’s
palm oil is only rated 21%. The figures are predetermined only by the US and the European Countries by applying
inaccurate calculation and assumption in view of Indonesian condition.
Classification of crude palm oil/CPO as environmentally unfriendly product, if not handled properly will result in
the rejection of Indonesian export. Indonesian CPO export value to the US is relatively small so the US is grouped with
other countries with export value under USD500,000,000. The US market is not significant, but still, we have to make
serious response because they applied several inaccurate data and assumption.

Seven Indonesian mangrove forests become model forests in ASEAN although almost half of the total areas are in
damaged condition. It is easy to find the sample, because North Jakarta coastal region is completely changed to a
luxurious housing area. More than half of our mangrove forests are damaged, and the remainder is in good and in
moderate conditions. However, 70% of the damaged are outside the forest area and only 28% are in the forest area.
Based on the result of the Ministry of Forestry’s survey in 2006, Indonesia had the largest area of mangrove forests
in South East Asia, i.e. 7.7 million hectares. However, when survey was carried out last year, the mangrove forests in
Indonesia which were in good conditions were only 3.6 million hectares, the remainder was either in the damaged or
moderate condition. The damage of the mangrove forests was due to the conversion of their utilization to farms, rearing
ponds, and economic development (housing, paddy fields) and planned cuttings as well as natural disasters.
Meanwhile, the economic value that can be gained from the preservation of mangrove per hectare is quite high. If all is
calculated in Rupiah, the value reaches Rp1.6 billion per ha per year.
To rescue the damaged mangrove, rehabilitation of 10,000 hectare of mangrove forest is carried out every year. In
addition, in the APBN (Annual State Budget), budget is also allocated for the development of People Seed Nursery
(Kebun Bibit Rakyat – KBR). In 2011, it was budgeted to establish 10,000 units KBR that can produce 500 million
mangrove trees. In 2010 only 8,000 units of KBR, while in 2012 there will be 12,000 units.
The Ministry of Forestry is optimistic that Indonesian mangrove forests will be restored. In the survey that is carried
out every five years, it is stated that there will be additional 200,000 hectares of good mangrove forest. The criterion of a
good mangrove forest is that there are more than 1,000 mangrove trees per hectare. If a mangrove forest is damaged,
there are only fewer than 400 mangrove trees per hectare in this area.
For that purpose, seven mangrove forests in Indonesia will become a model in the ASEAN region. The seven
mangrove forests that will apply share learning mechanism are located in Surabaya, Lampung, West Bali, Alas Purwo
(Banyuwangi), Balikpapan, Tarakan, and Jepara.
